Leah Rowe e9a910b33c config/git: import suckless sbase
i currently use the output of sha512sum in several
places of xbmk, which is a bit unreliable in case
output changes.

other cases where i use util outputs in variables
are probably reliable, because i'm using mostly
posix utilities in those.

to mitigate this, i now import suckless sbase, which
has a reasonable sha512sum implementation.

*every* binary it builds is being placed in build.list,
because i'll probably start using more of them.

for example, i may start modifying the "date"
implementation, adding the GNU-specific options that
i need as mentioned on init.sh

i'm importing it in util/ because the sha512sum
util is needed for verifying project sources, so
if sbase itself is a "project source", that means
we can into a chicken and egg bootstrapping problem.

this is sbase at revision:

.Sh SYNOPSIS

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
reads single lines from each
.Ar file
and writes them into one line, replacing
.Sy \en
with
.Sy \et
except from the last
.Ar file .
This process is repeated until each
.Ar file
is starved, treating zero-reads as empty lines along the way.
.Pp
If
.Ar file
is '-',
.Nm
interprets it as stdin.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl d Ar list
Replace
.Sy \en
with escaped characters from
.Ar list
by cycling through it.
